concerned
Being an online student was difficult for me because I felt less motivated to do anything at home. In class I can try to enter a working mode, but at home my brain just shuts off and I just play videogames. The transition to in person learning was scary at first since I was comfortable hiding behind a screen, but it became much better as I got to actually make friends and have a better connection the teacher as well, which helped motivate me to do my work a BIT more. 😉
I chose the picture below because it holds a special place in my soul. This photo was taken by one of my friends while we were on top of a ride at Luna Park in Coney Island. The view was great, but I was very scared at the time cuz heights are a no-no for me even though I love rides. This picture reminds me of that great trip with my friends and so it makes me think of them and how I’ll never forget them even though we won’t see each other for a while.
I relate to not being able to focus well when being home and trying to do class work. Even though I had online classes for a little over a year, I never got used to it.
